default browser

I can only connect (dial-up) to the internet through MSN Explorer (running WinXP) because I have never been able to set up my account (existing account but new computer) with msn.com. I connect fine through MSN Explorer, except I don't like the interface. I prefer Microsoft Internet Explorer. Since I can only get connected through MSN Explorer, am I stuck using their browser, or is there a way I can connect directly into MIE? Thanks - I'm kind of a novice - still....

 

What happens if you open IE? IF you get an Internet Connection Wizard, chose you want to set up manually and then follow the prompts.

 

Thanks Del, I'll try that. I've tried to set up "My ISP" before (using the same username and password as I have always had with MSN.com) but it always ends up with error messages ("invalid password or username") - I'll let you know if it works. th
